r HAIR-TREATING DEVICE.

.,Applicaton :filed November 30, 1920. Serial No. 427,272.

cn'lbodics a dye receptacle with a restricted discharge opening combined with means for supplying heated air for forcing the dye through the discharge opening, and also for purposes of drying the hair.

Another object of the invention contemplates the idea of applying oil or other substances directly to the scalp in the treatment thereof, control devices being provided for `regulating the discharge o' material therefrom, the invention further contemplating the use thereof alone as a hair drydevice wherein heated air is forced therethrough and directed onto kthe hair.

It is also intended the device be construct` ed for use of physicians in spraying and treating wounds and sores for sterilization.

a further use, the device may be con-` structed upon a larger scale for the purpose of burning oil for use in removing carbon from gas engines.

lith the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists in the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described in connection with the accompanying drawings, and in which like reference characters indicate similar parts throughout the several views.A

lBrieiiy described, the present invention aims to provide a spraying device for various uses, as: in the treatment of hair for applying oil or heated air to the hair and scalp cfa person; the idea of applying a sterilization fluid or air to a wound or sore, and as a further object the idea'of constructing a spray device, either capable of burning fuel. or sprayinggj fluid upon faces of gas engines for purposes of removcarbon-coated suring the carbon therefrom. Structurally, the

device embodies a cylindrical fluid contain-` ing chamberv having a tip upon one end thereof with an enclosed nozzle.

A central air tube is arranged within the fluid chamber and communicates with the spray nozzle while a wire within the nozzleinsures a diffusion or spraying of fluid ejected therefrom.

A needle valve associated with the fluid chamber and controls the passage of fluid therefrom to the central air passage.

`Referring more in detail. to the accomp anying drawing, there is illustrated a spray device embodying a tubular chamber 1 having a head 2 at the outer end thereof with a reduced axial passage 3 therein. rihe other end of the tube 1 is internally threaded for the reception of a screw plug 4 having thereopening through which an air in an axial pipe -5 freely extends, the connection between the air pipe 5 and screw plug i being sealed by the packing gland 6 threaded into a socket 7 in the outer face` of the plug 4. As shown in Figure 2, the inner end of the air pipe 5 is threaded into the socket 8 formed in the head 2 and coaxial with the passage 3. A tapered in Fianre threat if 'ptite that c ided with 'peripheral endof the nozzle shown in Figure 5 so asto .slightly :space the head 18 carried by. n' the` outer end of the vfire from the, opening 15 in the nozzle 11. y i l lleans isprovided for regulating the loliv y fluid -from the tubular chamber to the passage E; in the head 2 `and` embodies the provision oit a rearwardly inclined outward- Aly projecting boss 19 carried b v said head and'having a central passage 2() therein coinyinunicating with a. longitudinal passage 21 leringcornniunication with the interior; of
